Your say
Do you think asking patients about their drinking habits is a good idea?
Diana Atkinson, 77, retired, Greenlaw Rigg: "No, I think it's dreadful. When you go to your doctor, you are not expecting him to practically accuse you of having a drink problem."
John Gray, 54, estate agent, Stenhouse Drive: "Hypothetically, if people told the truth it would be a good idea, but I think that people would tell lies about their alcohol consumption."
Kathleen Green, 67, retired, Newtongrange: "Yes, I think so. It's a good idea to ask about drinking habits because alcohol could be an underlying problem."
